On a walk today with my dog on south coast of England, I came across two different fields which had an electric fence around the perimeter (keeps livestock in, and - i assume - predators out).

Both had brown/dead grass underneath.

The first one was in an open area, so there's no way it relates to less rain fall or water access than the lush greenery which surrounded it.

What is it, and why?

According to the manual there should be a 3 inch extension with a cap to drain the oil easily. Mine doesn’t have that (it was left when we bought the home and this is the first time I’m changing the oil). Is there a different way to change the oil? It doesn’t appear to be an easy change oil filter either as the filter is side mounted. How do I change the oil?
